Hey there, fellow crypto enthusiasts It's your buddy Crypto Willy here, and I'm excited to dive into the latest updates from the world of Web3, covering NFTs, DeFi, and cryptocurrencies. Let's get started!

First off, let's talk about NFTs. The past week has seen a mixed bag of news. According to CryptoSlam.io, NFT sales have fallen by 11% to $115 million in the past seven days, with Ethereum-based NFTs taking a 40% hit, dropping to $49 million[1]. However, Bitcoin NFTs are on the rise, with a 0.20% increase in trading volume, reaching $20 million.

But don't let those numbers fool you. AltcoinGordon recently tweeted that NFTs are making a comeback, and the data supports this claim. There's been a 30% increase in trading volume over the past month, with OpenSea seeing a surge to $120 million on February 22, 2025. The price of MANA, the native cryptocurrency of Decentraland, has also risen by 20% between February 15 and February 23, 2025[2].

Moving on to DeFi, there are some exciting projects to watch in 2025. FNT Crypto is an all-in-one financial platform that combines CeFi and DeFi services, offering users a seamless experience. Injective is a Layer 1 blockchain designed for DeFi applications, providing fast and low-cost trading solutions. AAVE continues to lead in DeFi lending, offering flexibility, security, and strong community governance. And Immutable X is solving Ethereum's scalability issues for NFT gaming, making transactions faster and more affordable[4].

In other news, the crypto-sports scene is heating up, with 22 deals averaging $4.3 million in 2025, up from 18 deals at $2.6 million last year. Coinbase has become the official sponsor of Aston Martin's Formula One team, with the deal paid entirely in USDC stablecoins[3].

Lastly, let's touch on some emerging trends in NFTs. The rise of Bitcoin NFTs is reshaping the market, expanding the potential for digital assets beyond Ethereum. Real-world asset tokenization is also gaining momentum, revolutionizing how physical and tangible assets are represented and traded in the digital world[5].

That's all for this week's Web3 deep dive. Stay tuned for more updates, and remember, always do your own research. Until next time, stay crypto, my friends
